What did he do? Did he remain ?
No, sir! White courage and SIM

hero and which draws about him tho
admiration OF every man whe meets
him and who values patriotism and
devotion to duty, he resigned his posis
tton and entered into the confederacy
and gave up all for his people. He
served US during the war. During the
gloomy days of the radical regime in
our state that dear old man, still bright
In mind, the object of admiration and

In New Orleans subsisting upon mere

THE special attention of the read
ing public is invited to the choice
reading matter in the different de-
partments of the TRIBUNE. Our
Washington letter, of political ua.
ture, is always spicy and instructiye;
the communications, promised from
time 10 time by familiar and com
petent persons absent from our
midst, are sure of proving interest
ing; and the new serial story is i'm
meuse, being strikingly local in its
make up. On matters of daily oc-
currence, such as local, political, etc,
we shall endeavor to do justice,
treating on the same in a manner
that we regard rs best for all.
HEADQUARrgRs for Christmas toys

The paper for the million still at
the front. The Western RudE and
american Stockman, of Chicago, is
one of the most progressive and
thoroughly practical farm journals
of this country. 1t is also the larg
est as well as the best Of its class
and is always at the front on the
leading questions which affect the
interests of the farmer and stock
raiser. The Western R,ral is the
parent of the Farmers Alliance
Movement which is growing strong
in all the western states. The organ
iza'ion has done much TO break up
combinations which seriously Grip
pie the interests of agriculture and
has set in motion Influences which
must crystalline into Legislation to
put in check the greed Of corporate
capital. The price of the Rural,
$50 per year, is marveIously low
for so large a journal. Address,

TEXAS NEW SENATOR.

1t has been long hard fight for the
Texas United States Senatorship, but
honest and able Judge Reagan finally
got there" having been elected on the
thirty-frst ballot, on Tuesday. His
chief competitor was Senator Maxey
who has occupied the seat for Twelve
years. Reagan is a much ADLER man
than his predecessor, being in fact one
of the brightest and most clever states
men in Congress, and ranking with the
most active, and broadest-mindedl leg
islators. He has been in Congress COZ
tinuously since the Forty fourth, and
was in two Congresses before the
war. Judge Reagan was Post
master-General . of the Confederacy
from March, 1851, to the collapse of
the rebellion. He has been in politics
all his life. When little more than a
boy he left his home In Tennessee and
went to the then Republic of Texas
with whose history he has ever since
been prominently identified. In Con
gress be has been among the foremost
Representatives in the presentation of
bills and the advocacy of wise legisla-
lion. His elevations will be loss to the
House, but gain to the Senate, which
is sadly in need Of such brains ard ex-
perisnce as Reagan's. Judge Reagan is
50 years OF age, and il not q millionaire.

prove of what is known as the Tucker
bill, which recently passed the House of
Represen 'atiyes, and hopes the Presi-
dent will veto it should it pass the Sen
ate, as we believe the bill t. be vicious.
The Territories are bad enough off as
now situated without having new penal
code regulations made for their govern
ment, and a further restriction placed
upon them as people. the residents
of the Territories have just as many
rights as those of the States, and should
in fact have more, as the builders of
new States, as a rule, are the energetic
and progressive people of the older
States who go out to subdue the will

THE JOKE OF The NATION

II Is really amusing to hear a little
var talk in this country, and would be
interesting if it were not so ridiculous.
A Canadian milItiaman is reported in
our telegraphic columns this morning
ss telling how the Dominion pensioners
are being called out, and as saving that
Canada could get together on short no
tics an army of 1--we thousand men ~
This is probably misprint, but as the
whole business is joke, the figures
might as well be stated incorrectly. As
if there were really something serious
in the affair, the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature comes to the front with a resolu-
ton instruoting the States Senators and
Representatives in Congress to urge the
adoption OF such measures &c
will put our army on war
footing. and by a show of fighting
ability compel the nations in general
and Great Britain in particular, 10
manifest respect for, if not fear of us.
The Americans look ct things in such
a practical matter-of-fact sort Of way,
and are 80 conscious of the inpresaa-
billty Of the nation to attack from the
outside, that one cannot help q feeling
OF surprise that the present war talk
should excite anything more serious
than hearty laugh.
There is about as much chance fer a
war with Great BHt4ea over the inertia

VERY FUNNY.

1t is new wired to the Loyal League
that the Senate conferees will accept
the Tucker bill, and a report 10 that
effect will shortly be made. 1t seems to
Us that we have heard something like
this before. If our memory has nor
gone wrong, it was telegraphed from
Washington before the bill passed the
House, that the Senate would gladly
receive the Tucker bill as q substitute
for the Edmunds effort, and imme-
diately pass it. Haven't we also been
told for the past eight months that the
Tucker amendments had all been sub
mitted to Edmunds and been approved
by him2 Was it not also wired that
within few days from the passage of
the bill by the House, the measure
would be law, the Senate having agreed
to lay aside everything and take up the
bill as soon as it came from the House
Our memory cannot possibly be at
fault as TO the manner in which the

was met by motion by Edmunds that
the Senate do not concur, and that
motion was adopted unanimously,
although the Vermont Senator
had heartily approved the Tucker
amendments, and given the Virginia
representative the benefit of his advice
in drafting the bill; and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Senate had all the
time been so keen for an opportunity
to vote for Mr.. fuckers bill. 1t was on
Mr.. Edmunds' motion that the Senate
rejected the House bill; Mr.. Edmunds
is chairman of the Senate conferees, and
now we are gravely told that Mr.. Ed
munds accepts the bill without change
and will ask the Senate to pass it.
though two weeks ago he asked the
Senate to reject it. All of which sug-
gests that certain newspapers Wash
ing correspondent is an ass, or that he
has been instructed to telegraph some
thing which would put new heart into
the Loyal Leaguers, and induce them
to pay their dues more promptly.

MORE OF PROFIr.sHAR1Na.

Lately The HERALD has mentioned
two or three instances Of the adoption
in this country of the principle of CO.
operation, or more properly of profit
sharing. A Boston newspaper has in
augurated the system with its printers
and employees; a manufacturing con-
sern and q stone quarry company in
Rhode Island are trying it, and perhaps
haH-a-dozen other establishments
throughout the country are making the
experiment. We believe the principle
is a good one, and if generally adopted
will GO far towards putting an end to
the disputes between employer and en-
ployee. The proprietor makes his men
special partners, as is were, so far as
sharing the profits from his investment
and this labor is concerned, but does
not impose upon them as a condition
for this advantage any liability or re-
sponsibility for loss or failure. In
other words, he offers to his men the
use of his capital, giving to them all
they can make from it, with his
wisdom and their energy and industry.
